Tourism  
Reno combines urban living with Old West charm and offers a variety of activities. Foremost among them is casino gambling and the big-name entertainment shows that go along with it.

There is more to the town than gambling, however. Take time to stroll along the River Walk, a three-block plaza with fountains and native plants overlooking the Truckee River. Summer dances and concerts are held at the nearby Wingfield Park Amphitheater. Other sights include the Nevada Historical Society Museum, the Wilbur D. May Center, the Nevada Museum of Art and the National Automobile Museum
